First, appreciate all the kind thoughts regarding my mom. She is getting better but still has a long road to travel back to wellness. The nice thing is my sister-in-law has been an angel for the past few months and mom has been in good hands in the rehab facility.

Now about the commit. Kalei Greeley’s club … Rancho Valley, has posted that she has committed to UH for Fall 2014. She was the CIF Div 2AA Player of the Year as a junior at King High in Riverside.

RVVC is in San Bernardino.

She is a 6-3-ish middle turned opposite. very athletic from what I’ve read.

In the state final in November she led the team to the championship with 29 kills and 23 digs in the final.

not sure of the Hawaii connection with her name. perhaps someone knows. Her folks played Basketball at UC Riverside (dad both at UCR and USC).

Kalei Greeley has some smart coaching in high school. The coach saw a potential, as Hartong with Shoji, to convert her to a OH from a middle from her soph year, knowing that great success in D1 is being a 6 rotation player. Her stats shows she is accomplishing that with her dig numbers. Now if the coaches can sign up a couple more Hartongish gals in November 2013 UH should be in great shape in the aftermath of all the girls graduating in 2014.

I hope Hawaii gets both of them. I just saw a video on McDermott and she has great lateral movement, speed, and is really athletic. She would be a nice addition to the Wahine.

If Hawaii lands Agost, McDermott, and Greeley then we will have three 6’0-6’3 players that can play outside or middle. I only know about Greeley playing back row but Agost has a nice float serve. Also hope Jade’s sister comes as well.

As for new commit, from her name to her size, she seems like a fit for Coach Dave and Wahine team. I will hope she rises her game to help fill the Wahine’s Concept/needs and enjoys her time here as so many before her have. Welcome to Volleyball Paradise – Hawaiian Style, Kalei! And of course, Go Wahine!
